Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a tuber crop grown for food security, income generation, and traditional medicine. This crop has a high cultural value for some of the groups growing it. Most of the production comes from West Africa where the increased demand has been covered by enlarging cultivated surfa...

The challenge of improving soil fertility in yam cropping systems of West Africa
A pot experiment was conducted to assess the fertiliser value of faeces from sheep fed with a diet supplemented with legumes free of or containing condensed tannins. Ten animals received the same five diets in different experimental runs of a double Latin Square design, all consisting of a low qu...

Effect of season, soil type and fertilizer on the biomass production and chemical composition of five tropical shrub legumes with forage potential
Exploiting the natural variability of Brachiaria forage germplasm to identify forage grasses adapted to infertile acid soils that contain very low available phosphorus (P) is an important research objective for improving livestock production in the tropics. The objective of this study was to dete...

Cowpea N2 fixation and yield can be enhanced by selecting competitive and efficient indigenous rhizobia. Strains from contrasting agro-ecologies of Kilifi and Mbeere (Kenya) were screened. Two pot experiments were established consisting of 13 Bradyrhizobium strains; experiment 1 (11 Mbeere + CBA ...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) is an important African food legume suitable for dry regions. It is the main legume in two contrasting agro-ecological regions of Kenya as an important component of crop rotations because of its relative tolerance to unpredictable drought events. This study was...
